Family Sharing requires a personal Apple ID signed in to iCloud and iTunes. Family Sharing makes it easy for up to six family members to share iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases, an Apple Music family membership, and an iCloud storage plan. Your family can also share photos, calendars, and reminders. You can even help find each others' missing devices.

Music, movies, TV shows, and books can be downloaded on up to 10 devices per account, five of which can be computers. iOS 8 and later and OS X Yosemite and later are required to set up or join a Family Sharing group. But we recommend that you update to iOS 11 and macOS High Sierra or later. Not all content is eligible for Family Sharing. Content can be hidden by family members; hidden content is not available for download. Content downloaded from family members or acquired via redemption codes is not subject to Ask to Buy.

If one of your family members received their content through Apple ID for Students, you won’t see it in their shared purchases. This includes apps and other content distributed through the school.
